Re: custom language: XP or GTK or Sodipodi?

Hello!

Seriously, I do not know, why sodipodi remains trasnlated, but GIMP
not :-/ But are you sure GIMP prerelase contains translation
files at all? I remember vaguely, that Gimp installer allowed me
explicitly to specify, whether I want translation files or not.
So maybe Gimp just does not find dutch translation, and falls back
to english.

Now, speaking about Gtk+ apps, they usually have translation
files at:
APPDIR\share\locale...
If you are sure, you do not want Dutch translation, you can
just delete corresponding .mo file, and sodipodi will fall
back to english.
While it is possible to do, Gtk+ programs usually do not have
language setting in preferences, but use system locale
instead. But I do not know exactly, which Windows settings are
used to decide the proper value for it.

And please, be not surprised, if sodipodi lacks lot of essential
functionality. I do not know what your UNIX/Linux friends have
been telling you, but sodipodi is nowhere near production
quality (yet) ;-)

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski
